ABOUT: 

From boy band to one of the best power pop bands in the world, The Rubinoos are a must see.


Best friends since junior high school, Jon Rubin and Tommy Dunbar started gigging in their teens. Based in Berkeley California, The Rubinoos were quickly snapped up by visionary label Beserkley Records along with stablemates Jonathan Richman and Greg Kihn.


The band gained national prominence with their 1977 debut LP, The Rubinoos. Renowned rock critic, Gene Sculatti, called it “the best pop album of the decade.”


The Rubinoos have since gone on to release numerous albums with the help of iconic musician/producers such as Todd Rundgren, Kevin Gilbert, and most recently Americana staple Chuck Prophet.


Over the years the band has developed a broad international audience having shared the stage with the likes of Elvis Costello and Tom Petty.


Their infectious sound has appeared in multiple feature films and TV shows. The band’s television debut was on the legendary “Dick Clarks American Bandstand.” They sang the title theme song of the cult classic “Revenge of the Nerds” and their top 40 hit “I Think We’re Alone Now” opened the third season of the Netflix hit comedy “Sex Education.”


Most recently signed to the well respected boutique label Yep Roc Records (Nick Lowe, Dave Alvin, Chuck Prophet), The Rubinoos have never been busier and continue to draw crowds worldwide. Playing regularly in Japan, Europe and festivals and clubs across the US, the band is bringing Power Pop to a new generation.
